REM Sample CONFIG.SYS
REM Please edit this file to suit your needs.
REM See http://fd-doc.sourceforge.net/spec/config.html for
REM details on commands available in CONFIG.SYS
REM This is not necessarily an optimized CONFIG.SYS, 
REM but should be a reasonable starting point.
REM ************************************************************************

REM device=[d:][path]file [options]
REM This will load the device driver specified by d:path\file (into
REM normal aka conventional memory).  The options are for the driver
REM itself; refer to documentation that came with your particular device
REM for supported options and their usage.

REM devicehigh=[d:][path]file [options]
REM This is just like device= statement, except it attempts to load
REM the device driver into high memory first (failing that it should
REM load it in conventional memory).  
REM Note: The order you load devices may have a large impact on amount
REM of free memory available.  In general try to load large (in memory
REM usage) programs into high memory first.
REM Important: You should have a high memory manager such as FDXMS or
REM Himem installed (prior device=FDXMS.SYS or device=HIMEM.SYS) before
REM using this option.

REM Load memory managers (refer to their docs for available options)
REM Warning: most memory managers require newer (286/386/Pentium) computers.
REM Here C:\UTIL refers to an arbitrary directory for non FreeDOS programs.

REM FDXMS & FDXXMS are extended memory managers (similar to himem)
REM FDXMS supports up to 64MB of XMS memory & FDXXMS supports up to 4GB
REM FDXMS.SYS [NUMHANDLES=nnn] [BIOS]
REM NUMHANDLES specifies how many XMS handles available (default=32, min=2)
REM BIOS indicates to use BIOS Int15 switching instead of internal method
REM device=C:\FDOS\BIN\FDXMS.SYS /NUMHANDLES=16
REM device=C:\FDOS\BIN\FDXXMS.SYS /NUMHANDLES=32

REM Freeware program to support UMBs for some computers
REM device=C:\UTIL\umbpci.sys

REM EMM286 Freeware expanded memory manager for 286s
REM EMM286.EXE [mem in kb] [/H=hhh #EMM handles] [/S=sss #context save maps]
REM device=C:\UTIL\EMM286.exe 256 /H=64 /S=7

REM EMM386 Standard (386+) expanded memory manager
REM EMM386.EXE [NOEMS] [FRAME=XXXX] [EMM=XXXXX] [X=XXXX-XXXX] [I=XXXX-XXXX]
REM Note: Current EMM386 included with FreeDOS is not fully compatible
REM with other DOSes EMM386.  Additionally, it requires its included
REM HIMEM.EXE instead of FDXMS.SYS (which it is incompatible with).
REM device=C:\FDOS\BIN\HIMEM.EXE
REM device=C:\FDOS\BIN\EMM386.EXE NOEMS FRAME=D000 EMM=20000

REM dos=high|low,umb|noumb
REM indicates whether the kernel should try to load itself into
REM high memory or only conventional (low), and whether to link
REM upper memory blocks in with normal memory or not.  
REM Note: only one set need be given, ie dos=high and dos=noumb are ok.
REM Important: if you specify dos=high[,umb|noumb] then you must also
REM load a high memory manager (first), ie FDXMS or HIMEM
REM dos=high,noumb
dos=low,noumb

REM files=nnn where nnn is in range 8-255 (default 8)
REM Specifies how many files allowed open at once
REM Note: there are other restrictions, so a given program
REM       may not be able to actually open this many
REM A good number is 20, though some programs suggest/require
REM 30, 40, or even 255
files=20

REM buffers=nn[,n] where nn is in range 1-99 & n is in range 1-8
REM Memory buffers used by the kernel; primary[,secondary]
buffers=20

REM The country statement is not currently supported by FreeDOS
REM country=nnn[,[mmm][,[d:][path]file]]
REM Enables/sets international features of DOS
REM nnn is country code (001==US)
REM mmm is code page (437 is default, 850 is updated form, 1252 for Windows)
REM [drive][path]file specifies file with country specific data
REM country=001,850,C:\FDOS\BIN\COUNTRY.SYS

REM lastdrive=x where x is last drive letter available for use; A-Z
lastdrive=z

REM shell=[d:][path]file [options]
REM Indicates the shell to use, often used to alter COMMAND.COM's behavior
REM shell=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:256 /P
REM shellhigh=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:256 /P

REM stacks=nn,nnn where nn is in range 0,8-64 and nnn is in range 32-512
REM Changes number of stacks available
REM nn is number of different stacks and nnn is size in bytes of each one
REM stacks=16,256

REM version=x.y FreeDOS specific command to specify what DOS version to report
REM version=6.2

REM general CD Driver (also requires FDCDEX loaded in AUTOEXEC.BAT)
REM device=C:\UTIL\ATAPICDD.SYS /D:FDCD0001

REM ansi, enhanced CONsole driver
REM device=C:\FDOS\BIN\NANSI.SYS /S
